doubtiully. "Ye-yes, Paul. The College
aud this School of Philosophers are very
good ideas, because you would be the
Head of the College, and they must pay
their Head. But it would be hard work
very hard housekeeping it up, And If
you were to vanish, my dear boy, how
about the dollars ?"
The young mans face, which had been
glowing, fell, and he changed color.
The dollars-Oh the dollars 1T is
the curse of being an American, that one
is never permitted to think of anything

Now you talk sense, Paul. Better still
go over to America and found Sister
College. If you want to make a very large
fortune, give out that the younger Sister
is going to surpass the Elder, by reason of
the enormously superior intellect of the
Americans. There are plenty of credulous

that Power so long as you remain unmov-
